Well I'm sure no expert on Mopars, but I received this 1965 convertible from a 70 year old man with  heart problems.

 This is what I call a "Barn Find". He brought it from California with plans to restore it, and fix it up.

He has bought some parts for it etc. It has been sitting idle for a  year (and maybe more?)
I believe he had big plans to restore it, but health issues have gotten in his way.
 
Here is what I can tell you about the car...

This Dodge will need whatever sitting idle for that long would dictate. (New battery, fluids clean fuel. etc.) 

It has not been driven in quite some time.
The car has a 440 V-8 with a torqueflite automatic transmission.

 The engine is hot rodded up a bit, and looks to have all the normal goodies.
 This would make a neat daily driver or better yet,  it might be a car, you could fully restore.

 It has the factory bucket seats with a console.
The trunk has a little rust, but the floors, frame, engine compartment, etc. are excellent.

I have a clear  and open California title for it as well as all the spare parts he bought for it.(included).
I wish I knew more about it, but it's just how it came out of storage, and just as I recieved it.

Since it's a 1965 it also might make a neat Hemi-clone car? (just a thought). It reminds me of the famed "Dick landy" 65' Pro-stocker.
  
It is 50 year old and I am selling it as-is. It's a bit of a project, but if your somewhat mechanical, this may be right up your alley?
I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in anyway.

This car was running and driving when he last parked it into storage. If I do not sell it "as-is", I will get it all serviced and running, and re-list it accordingly. 

My opening bid is $ 5,500.00 with no reserve.  I think that whoever ends up with it will be very pleased. I can't imagine finding a neater, or a more nostalgic big-block / convertible like this for the price. 
Terms of sale...

I can not ship.....  This means I can not crate, box, disassemble, or deliver to a shipping company.  I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.

If you have zero feedback, contact me before you bid or your bid will be canceled, and you will be blocked from further bidding as well. 

A $200.00 non-refundable deposit through Pay Pal is required within 48 hours of auction's end. 

PayPal is acceptable for the deposit only.

  The balance is due via bank/certified check, or cash in person within 7 days of the auctions end.  If you are an out of the states buyer, I will gladly work with you in regards to the time and details it takes to process payment. 

Thank you

Here are the cars Fast 8 characters will drive in Iceland

Tue, Jun 28 2016

The eighth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise will feature some characteristic wheel-to-wheel adventuring, this time on Icelandic ice. As revealed by the F&F production team, here are some of the vehicles that will be seen in the film. What else could Dominic Toretto drive than a Dodge? The previous film showed a Charger fitted for off-road driving, and this time the classic shape has been formed into an ice racer. The muscle car is still recognizable, but the altered wheelbase and fender flares make this something quite different. And as the bullet holes testify, the matte black machine is definitely going to see some action. Letty drives a Local Motors Rally Fighter, which might be the best fit for the ice scenes. The off-road coupe has been modified with a brush bar and some serious roof-mounted lights. Roman will be seen behind the wheel of an orange Lamborghini Murcielago, easily standing out in the frozen wastes. To top it off, there are some tank-like machines: There's a tracked Ripsaw for Tej Parker and an "Ice Ram" for Hobbs, who is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Both of these look like mean machines, and on the screen they'll probably prove to be the admission ticket's worth.

Fri, Dec 18 2015

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. In this clip, two Stormtroopers drive the helmet-mobile to a filling station. Because even Vader's soldiers need to refuel once in a while. Read about the car and watch the rest of the videos here.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
